I'm not sure which kind, but I know its big. Taken handheld with a Sigma 105mm macro and D70. I used the popup flash to add some light. It was hiding under a leaf.

Its been identified as a European Garden Spider or Araneus diadematus

C&C :huh

    Nice and Sharp Thomas clap.gif looking real good!
    You got some pretty even light considering you were using the popup flash.

    Your spider has very nice markings on it's back.
    Excellent Series Thomas thumb.gif thanks for sharing.... Skippy :D

    Lovely captures- typical Araneus diadematus patterning.
